ASPD & Psychopathy A Part of Human Evolution Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation ASPD & Psychopathy A Part of Human Evolution Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a malfunction of the human body that is associated with long-term patterns of disregard for the rights of other people and always crossing the line resulting in a frequent violation of the rights. People with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) have always lacked the feeling of empathy towards other people and in most cases, do not see a problem in breaking the law or infringing others’ rights as long as their needs are met. The disorder develops from childhood all through to adulthood of an individual’s life. In popular cultures, ASPD is referred to as psychopathy or sociopathy although the names are not professionally recognized. People with the disorder due to the lack of empathy tend to be cynical, callous and contemptuous of the feelings, sufferings and the rights of others (Mendoza, 2014). Traditionally, superficial charms, lack of empathy and undermined self-appraisal are common features that define psychopathy with the individuals found to be exploitative and irresponsible in their sexual relationships. The enduring pattern common among psychopaths are seen mostly in cognition or impulse control; the patterns are inflexible across a wide range of social and personal situations.
